Destiny players have tested themselves in the new Strikes, Raid, Crucible, and other activities with the release of The Taken King over two weeks ago. PlayStation and Xbox owners will be able to add the Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris to the list of activities changing for Year Two. Bungie provided details Thursday on when both will return and what is new with them.

Iron Banner will be the first special Crucible activity to makes its Destiny Year Two debut on Tuesday, October 13. The event typically starts at the beginning / end of every month. We’ll have to keep an eye on if Bungie sticks with this new schedule.

Trials of Osiris will quickly follow the Iron Banner by kicking off its first Year Two event on Friday, October 16. Both events will conclude when the Weekly Reset arrives on Tuesday, October 20.

There’s the promise of new gear for both. The image at the top of this article shows some of the new Iron Banner gear that is coming including a Hunter helmet covered in a wolf’s head and a Titan helmet that looks like a piece of medieval armor.

The new Light Level system introduced with Destiny: The Taken King will provide perhaps the biggest impact to Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris. The power curve has been adjusted, but Bungie is not ready to share the details on that yet. Instead, the developer shared some of the quality of life changes that are being made to both.

Iron Banner is the older of the two Crucible events and is perhaps receiving the most welcome changes. The Tempered Buff is now automatic instead of requiring a purchase while Lord Saladin’s inventory of weapons and armor for sale stand a chance to drop at the end of matches. New bounties are also being added, including all new weekly bounties that will reward Legendary Marks. Speaking of which, those marks will now be required to purchase gear from Lord Saladin instead of Glimmer.

The goal of achieving nine wins in Trials of Osiris just got a little more difficult. Instead of matching fireteams based on just the best connection quality, Bungie will now try to match teams that have the same number of wins. That means facing high-skill opponents after gaining that eighth win. Additionally, players that want to continue playing past nine wins may do so, but they won’t receive additional rewards.

Destiny players will no longer have to visit Brother Vance to get their rewards. Instead, they’ll be end of match rewards that improve with quality as more wins are earned.

Iron Banner Changes

The tempered buff is now automatically applied and continues to grow in effectiveness each day of the event.

The alt catch-up buff and Iron Medallion mechanics are unchanged.

Potential match completion rewards now include both weapons and armor, matching the same items available from Lord Saladin during each event.

Drop rates have been increased and are intended to be the primary source of rewards from Iron Banner. If you don’t get what you’re hoping for, you have the option to visit Lord Saladin instead.
